Sunday, August 4, 2013. Kids Art: How to Draw a Deer. Summer Art camp was a huge success this year! We had 17 students from the ages of 8-13.All of them wonderful and talented individuals! With that being said.I'm sure you can understand why there are so many samples. I couldn't leave anyone of these darling deer's out. :). If you scroll down to the bottom of the post you can find the directions for my directed draw. Don't you just love the horns on this fella? But do enjoy the pictures on the way down!

http://spittin-toad.blogspot.com/2013/08/altered-dominoesthe-raven.html
Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Altered Dominoes.The Raven. I have had so much fun making Altered Clipboards, that I decided to size it down a bit and make some tiny little collages.on Dominoes. Not that I'm pushing Autumn.This summer has been far to gorgeous to give it up! But I know it's time to start gearing up for the next season (The sad truth is.I should be working on Christmas, but I just can't bring myself to do it quite yet). This made my A.D.D. self very happy! The moth came from The Graphics Fairy.
